- Not sure if these were ever brought into the US. It may have been a case where it was ready for the U.S. but due to the 1980s motorcycle tariff it never made it here. I do believe this model existed as a Canadian model though.
1998[edit | edit source]
The VT750C'98 Shadow American Classic Edition (ACE) 750 was sold in 1998 in one color: Black. This model does not have the upper fork covers like the Deluxe. The serial number began JH2RC440*WM000001.
The VT750CD'98 Shadow American Classic Edition (ACE) 750 was sold in 1998 in one of three color schemes: Black, Black with Pearl Canyon Copper, or Pearl Sedona Red with Pearl Ivory Cream. The upper fork legs have chrome covers. This model has more chrome than the VT750C'98. The serial number began JH2RC443*WM000001.
